Gas cap reservoir - Tarner method

A saturated-oil reservoir has a bubble-point pressure of 2,100 psi at 175°F. The initial reservoir
pressure is 2,925 psi. The following data summarize the rock and fluid properties of the field:
Original oil in place = 10MMSTB
Connate water saturation = 15%
Porosity = 12%
Water compressibility = 3.6E-6 [1/psi]
Rock compressibility = 4.9E-6 [1/psi]

Relative permeability to this reservoir is given below.

It is required to determine at 1500 and 1300 psi:


a) Cumulative oil and gas production.
b) Solution gas at reservoir and surface conditions.
c) GOR and Rp.
d) Recovery factor due to the gas cap.
e) Cumulative recovery factor
f) Compare d) and e), is it possible to sum up the recovery factor?
